This review is long overdue, but my daughter started at ELCA when she was around 5 months old in the infants room. It was clear right from the start that her teachers and the staff really care about the children and are passionate about the work that they do. She is now in the Young Toddlers room and we continue to have such a positive experience. Our daughter comes home every day exhibiting new skills and saying new words that we are sure she learned from her teachers. We are always kept in the loop of what is going on in the classroom with updates and photos throughout the day, which we love. The communication is top notch. They are always having different activities and theme days to keep the days fun and engaging for the kids. We really couldn’t recommend ELCA more, and are so grateful to them for helping our girl grow!

This review is well overdue. I enrolled my 3rd baby in daycare for the first time a year ago. Meeting Donna, Nicole and the staff all my anxiety went away. They love my child like he’s their own, and treats everyone like family. Totally organized group of staff, Ms. Kim and Ms. Crystal are amazing !! And the rooms are decorated so fun and all the teachers are soo creative.

My Son Josiah has been going there since he was 2 and he has learned so much and has prosper on so many levels from his First Teacher Ms.Debbie helping with potty training, being hands on with him and now his teacher MsVal and MsAlexis being consistent We LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE FROM THE CENTER AS THEY DO MY SON. It does not go unnoticed all the hard work and dedication that is put into each kids. Let’s NOT FORGET the amazing ADMINISTRATOR MS.MARIE. She is a Gem with a heart full of Gold. Thank you so much for the support! The BEST DAYCARE a Parent can ask for ❤️

My son was in the pre-k class and absolutely loved it! The teacher Miss Diane has been there for a long time and is so loved by all. My son learned so much and had an amazing time there with new friends. This place comes highly recommended by other moms locally and now I see why!

I don’t typically take the time to post reviews, but this facility deserves one! My son learned letters, numbers, seasons, days of the week, etc!! Can’t speak highly enough of the staff. Highly recommend this facility! ❤️

Hi!!! I just wanted to reach out and thank you all very much for all that you did for my child this summer! She really loved going there and will miss the staff! Thanks again for everything and good luck this school year. ♥️

My sister had gotten recommended by another parent who’s child is attending here and honestly so far so good!!! Everyone I have delt with has been amazing!!! The teachers are very understanding and take their time with the kids. It’s been about a week and a half and it’s been great

My child has been attending ELCA for almost 2 years. When he first came he didn’t talk much but now he’s talking up a storm. He just moved up a class & I love his teachers! He learns a lot and comes home singing songs they’ve learned. I love the school as well there is always different events to include the family.

The best daycare since I switched my daughter there she’s always happy and healthy I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know thank you to the director Ms. Terry and her teachers miss Kristen and Kim.

ELCA has been a godsend for my family! We have had very bad experiences with previous daycares for our son. ELCA has made us feel like we are a part of a family! The director Mrs. Donna is extremely helpful, compassionate, and understanding. Ms. Krystal (toddler teacher) is by far the best teacher my son has had! He has already learned so much in a short period of time. Ms. Krystal keeps the children very active throughout the day with fun and creative activities and crafts! Our family is so grateful to have found such a caring and wonderful daycare!

We love ELCA! My 15 month old daughter loves school and has learned so much! They send tons of pictures and updates throughout the day and the communication is great with the staff. Its very clean and always decorated so cute and colorful. I never hear kids crying or staff yelling whenever I walk in, the kids are always smiling and having fun. Very different experience than what we had with my older son at a different daycare. We are so thankful for this place!

Dallas’ Back to School Night! Maybe it’s the teacher in me but I LOVED every second of it! Seeing what she is working on, how much she has already grown (no tears at drop off), and the LOVE she has gotten!!!!! ELCA you truly are magical! I can’t wait for all the memories she is about to start making there! My mommy heart and teacher heart is so excited for what’s to come! ❤️if you are looking for child care there’s no where else to be but here!

My older son has been attending ELCA since 2019, and my younger son since 2021. We have been very happy with the level of care, learning curriculums, and policies that are in place at ELCA. The director, teachers, and staff are friendly, responsive, hard-working, and overall wonderful! ELCA uses an app where I can see photos of and get updates on my kids, and message the teachers if needed. They are always planning fun activities, like Eagles Day and pizza Fridays, and they will bring in special visitors, like Mrs. Claus or Queen Elsa. They also have a secure playground area and always incorporate outdoor play when there is nice weather. My boys love going to school here. We definitely recommend ELCA!

Friday my daughter finished her last day of summer camp at Fort Washington and will start Kindergarten on Monday. I’m reaching out because I wanted to share with you how positive our experience at ELCA has been with our child’s Pre-k teacher, Maggie Winner, and Director Christina Sibley. We attended another center prior to ELCA and been through many directors and teachers and these two are by far some of the best there is.

Maggie’s compassion, patience, and creative way of teaching have helped my daughter thrive and be in a perfect position to go into Kindergarten. Aside from teaching, Maggie is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. She is truly one of a kind and we will be eternally grateful that we got to share a year of our life with her.

I have been taking my children to ELCA at Springfield for almost seven years. I always feel confident that when I leave my children in the center’s care, that they are safe and will be treated well and have fun! I would vouch for my children’s teachers and the director at ELCA any day

As first time parents, we couldn’t be happier with ELCA for our infant. Within just the few short months that we’ve been here the teachers feel like an extension of our family, and honestly what more than that could you ask for for your child. They do a great job of planning activities to incorporate the parents, keep the center clean, and are so friendly. We’re truly so happy we found ELCA.

Since my daughter started here it has been a beautiful thing. I feel so warm and safe with my daughter being in their care.

This center is one of the best places I’ve sent my children to. The staff treats each child like family. Ms.Donna and Ms.Nicole have done an amazing job with the center from the hand-picked wonderful staff down to the centers appearance. If you’re looking for a center to send you child ELCA is the best choice. My husband and I love it and the kids look forward to coming each day.

I was so sad and terrified to send my baby girl to daycare, but it ended up being the greatest thing. As an infant, I would definitely annoy her teachers with texts throughout the day (we LOVE Ms. Alex!!), but they’d always happily respond and send pictures. My daughter loved going to “school” and would run in every day, wave/hug all of her friends, and hardly even say goodbye to us. She learned so much; I was amazed every week at all of the new things she was grasping. Truly, all of the teachers we’ve encountered have been great (I really do think they love their students), so I can’t do anything but praise them.

My son has been going here for 3yrs & I have not one complaint. Their communication is top tier & you can tell the staff actually love what they do. Mrs. Debbie is amazing! She gets excited about her lesson plans & take pride in the appearance of her room. I moved further away & I refuse to move my child. Early Learning Children’s Academy is truly a learning center I will recommend.

I love the staff and I even love the new location! We struggled at first, but I am glad to say that they made us feel right at home.

3 days in and my kids love it! They don’t even want to go home when I pick them up. Drop offs are no longer an ordeal for us, they happily run into their classrooms. While I do bring their meals, I know they are eating because they don’t come home starving. I say all that because these were issues we had in previous daycares. So, so far all is well.

ELCA is a great daycare! Our oldest son has learned so much since attending and he is very excited to go everyday! The staff is kind, caring, and professional. They also have a variety of family events that get the whole family involved which makes it feel welcoming for all. I highly recommend this location and my wife and I are looking forward to our youngest son to start part time in the coming month.

I changed jobs and we moved to Doylestown from the Philadelphia suburbs. I was nervous about finding a new daycare for my nine-month-old, and feel so fortunate to have found ELCA-Buckingham! The teachers have decades of experience and care so much about their job and kids. It’s impressive. The center is also very transparent with excellent communication. We actually started with ELCA right smack in the middle of the Omicron surge, and the director handled the difficult situation smoothly and professionally. My daughter used to get sick from her prior daycare all the time, but at ELCA I believe she’s gone the longest stretch without illness, only to be broken by a possible cold from Dad! We feel that our daughter is in excellent care, and would definitely recommend ELCA!

A beautiful center with a wonderful learning environment, incredible teachers, and a director who is as genuine, kind, and caring as they come… what more could a parent want for their child? My son, Connor, loves it here and I couldn’t be happier with his development!

My daughter has had such a wonderful experience at ELCA. She has made great friends and has had the best teachers who truly care about all of the kids, really get to know each family, and understand every child’s needs.

This means so much to us as a family to know that our daughter is loved and supported at school as well as at home.

I just wanna say ElCA Is The Best From The Director to the teachers I never once had any doubts they are family oriented and if you are thinking twice don’t think twice , you should definitely enroll your children we love them so much. Thank you for always caring about my kids.

This is our second year at ELCA. We have one daughter who had graduated PreK this past school year and another in there now. Ms. Alycia, Ms. Maria and Ms. Ashley as well as others along the way, were/are instrumental in giving our girls (and us parents) the guidance we need in prepping our kids for their next steps! Maria and Ashley took the reins and the place is a now a well oiled machine.

We did Pre-K even though we started so late in the year with only two and a half months left to go in the school year because of the way my daughter’s birthday falls and we did summer camp here and she has absolutely loved it!!! Communicating is super easy being able to contact the teachers directly is a huge help while also being able to contact Administration directly is one of the things that I like the most for the school Miss Jess was a favorite of my daughters we can’t thank her enough for all her love and encouragement that she gave throughout the year I wish that they had a full Elementary Middle High School because I have much rather my daughter go here then anywhere else!!!

I was super nervous when my baby first started here a few months ago because he had only been home with family. Never did I imagine the love and village were just the same here as at home. They treat EVERY kid as if it’s their own. I am so happy to drop my son off knowing he is in good hands. From the wonderful staff at the front door to the teachers who show nothing but patience with my baby boy. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOU DO DAILY!

My toddler has been attending ELCA for about 6 months now. The directors and teachers are caring, communicative, and organized. The building and classrooms are clean, safe, and welcoming. I’ve been very happy with the curriculum – my son has learned so much and I think he will be well-prepared for school in the future. Pricing is fair for the area.

Last day at ELCA and the end of the summer carnival. After 3 1/2 years together, I cannot even put into words how special this place has been to us over the last few years! You worked tirelessly through a pandemic and helped keep this space the sense of normalcy our children needed. The staff has become family and we cannot thank you all enough for loving our child like one of your own, nurturing her, helping her be the best version of herself, and preparing her for her next big chapter! Our child quite frankly grew up here and we are going to miss you all so much, this is not goodbye, just see you later! Our family loves you very much! Kindergarten here we come!

My girls have been attending this daycare for seven months and they love it. They have learned so much.

From the moment we first walked through your doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism, and it was evident that the daycare was more than just a daycare. It is a nurturing and loving environment where August thrives.

As parents, it is reassuring to know that our child is in such capable hands, and we are immensely grateful for the peace of mind that you have provided us with over the past months. Your professionalism, communication, and genuine care for each child have exceeded our expectations, and we will always cherish the memories August has made under your care.

This is a clean, safe and very professional center. The safe is always polite. Great education and academic program.
